Well, I am so happy to see the responses to Mr. Utter (I'm restraining myself here) because I think they do great credit to the community, and to ColdFusion. Tim, Erika and Robert, I thought each of your posts was gold. (Robert, I assume you were CFMunster.)
Thanks, Mary Jo, for your perspective on CF and how well it's doing. I hope your business continues to thrive. Charlie, I thought your blog entry was classic. Good response!
